JOYS AND SORROWS.

Does it pay to live? This is n ones
ton which frequently suggests itself to
those whose lives. are q scene of con-
slant toll and care, whose enjoyments
ara few aud far between owing TO the
constant struggle for m,ie existence
and whose associations nre circum-
scribed within the narrow limits of the
immaculate neigbborh"cd in which cir
cuustunces have placed them. We fire.
,quently have been led to envy the situ-
alton of Alexander Seiklrk when III the
sole inhubitant of the island of Juan
Fernandez he proudly proclaims:
II ain iuonurch of all l survey,
My right there is none TO dispute.
From the cen er all ruuuu to tue sea
am lord o: the fowl and the brute"
1t seems that one Ii that situation
should be happy, Notwithstanding that
he was cut off from nil communication
with the outer world, where lie was not
annoyed with the cares which usually
fall to the lot of mortul5, where he had
the convenience Of no one except him
self to consult and where he could fol-
low the bent of his own incllnutions with
no fear that lie would trespnss upon the
prerogntires of neighbors or friends.
But even this recluse was not satisfied,
for the monotony and loneliness of his
existence IRE apparent when he breaks
forth in the melancholy exclamation:
80, Solitude where ure the charms
That S lH's have seen in thy face?
Better dwell in the midst uf alarms
Than to reign i'll this horrible place."
May PERSONS whose outward de-
meHnor and CHI erful Inspect would indi-
cate TINT they enjoy life are among tue
most miserable # mortuls, and many
who are euviel by their nelghbors for
their apparently happy lives would he
objects Of pity were the 81 rets of their
real lives laid bare. 1t is well that we
know not the SORROWS, the trials, the
heart burninys of those with whom We
are associated. II is well That we have
the faculty of conc nling, 10y an outward
show OF contentnent, even from our ill.,
timate friends, the secrets Of our every
day life and nssuminSa dtmennor which
proclainls TO the world that We are sur
rounded with all that & res to make up u
life OF contentment and happiness, Tor
each one has his own trials to bear, and
no one cares to be burlencd with the
grievances of his neighbours.

 "Bcwarc of touching these clothes the owner Is In the ineipient stages of continent small -pox. and has just shed his clothes to ta ke bath. for the first time In seven years"
 Emerging from the water, half am hour later, he wns surprisod to find his clothes gone, and in their place, only sheet of paper, on the reverse side of which was written:

Fine Wedding Notice.
The Colonel.

A young man from ou; iii tie Pa;i- handle came down to Austin last week to marry Miss McNeester, daughter of General McNecster, who suddenly struck it rich while berdiDg his cattle on the public lands. The McNeesters were not going to do things by halves, so they had a swell supper, and invited the reporters Next morning one of the daily papers, among equally aorid sentence. and paragraphs, contained the following ::
 "The jellies were pure amber aBd agate masses of quivcrinQ, delicious, translucent sweetness, catching the scintillating rays of cbromatic show CTS as they were flung from the trans figuring prisms of the dazzling chan delier, and made the perfumed air rosy and violet as they seemed to hold them a moment in their trerDulous embrace before dartiBg them forth on the assembled beauty and chiyalry."
 General McNeesfer, with the bride groom, met the reporter next morn ing and said:
 Young man, did you write this here notice of the weddiDg?"
 '1I-ah t-let me see," said the re- porter, In doubt as to the object of the enquiry. He was an old Texas re- porter, and he knew he had better leave a loop hole for emergencies.
 70, you Deedn'ter deny it, said the general, while the groom blushed. "It's the finest thing ever written mp, and I'm going to have the tailor make you fine suit of clothes"
 "An' Pm goin' to send you hoss an par Q spurs aH six -shooter--a reg'lar gentlenaBs outfit" said the delighted groom.

 "Young man." he said at last, "take my advice, and never attempt to learn banking. You could hope for noth- ing better than the position of book keeper for years, if ever; and 1t is nothing but a dogs life. Besides, the business is crowded, sir. There are more banks than there are people 10 support them Every paper you pick up is full of bank failures"

STICK TO IT,

 "Thee Is room at the top" was the answer Daniel Webster once gave a young man who questioned him il there WAS chance in his profession. And it is as true of the man who wields the scythe as of him who wields the pen. The carpsnter who regrets that he is not stone mason, the dry goods clerk who wishes him- self druggist. are not the ones who succeed, but those who, having chosen vocation, stick to 1t, and bend every energy to excel in it. Success awaits them, and heekons them on Judge L----, we'll known in his profession ,o-day, thus relates his carly experience:

You'll tind starvation in 1t. X be- ginner stands no chance. You'd do better at anything else, even wooi- saving can do nothing for you"
 My disappointment was great. Lawyer Ms word was law to me, If he saw no chance for me, thought there was none My bright expecta- tions had vanished; went back to my room blue enough, While sitting there meditating my lanilady came in and soon found out my non-suc- cess. She advised me to try banking, Her son was engaged in that business in a neighboring city, and was doing "splendidly," she said
 She knew the president of one of the banks in the city, and believed l could get n position there. Her glow ing picture gave me renewed hope, and lwas eager to try 1t, She kindly wrote letter to the banker, and with this 1 once more went forth full of hope.
 Arrived at the bank handed my letter to a clerk, and he delivered 1t to some one behind desk. Then he took his hat and went out, and stood there and waited an hour, at least.
